Vlad is back with his Christmas Colors.
And large fonts and bold face!
That will set the record straight.
Jon Boy!
Not sure how that would make me feel safer😂
Sounds like you’re jealous of the in-post pizzazz HTML-ery vs just linking a bunch of YTs, etc.

Hey Jon
You back from “literally “ being in front of blackberry warehouse?
Hey muscovites are not doing too bad for 2nd baddest military against their little Russian brothers, hope those factories have meat, electricity, and water😂
“Sounds like you’re jealous”
Aren’t you the high IQ person on this thread?
Nazis were a political party are facist and autocrats, one guess who best fits that bill today

Well, it certainly isn’t you.
Had them at my base when I first got there in 82, even had a coal power plant, when they worked they were great, kept sidewalks melted, but when they didn’t….
About 5 years later they and it were gone.

KEY POINTS
At the start of 2022, hopes were high that a much-vaunted Russian invasion would quickly bring Russia complete conquest of Ukraine.
It didn’t. Russia suffered its greatest military losses since WWII, and 2024 could be even harder.
Ukraine’s alliances with the U.S. and Europe are steadily progressing toward formalization, as announced at last Summer’s NATO Vilnius summit. The communique from that summit explicitly declared “Ukraine’s future is in NATO”. The UK was the first to sign a bilateral defense pact with Ukraine, of the 30 that committed to do so during last Summer’s NATO Vilnius Summit. The UK Prime Minister announced that it was designed to last 100 years or more. American and French agreements are reportedly also far advanced toward finalization.
The amount of support and military hardware Ukraine receives could make or break its war efforts.
Russia has ramped up military spending and weapons production, signaling it’s prepared for a long war. But it is only capable of producing relatively lower tech weapons and equipment at any scale, and countries with a combined GDP more than fifty times that of Russia (before sanctions) have committed to supporting Ukraine with lethal weaponry, through the Ukraine Defense Contact Group (Ramstein Conference).
The Western weaponry is far more advanced and effective. European countries and America plan to contribute significantly increased amounts of military assistance in 2024, as compared to 2023, as well as new types of weapons. America alone is discussing an approximately 50% increase for 2024, which would likely inflict catastrophic losses on remaining Russian weapon systems in the air, at sea, and on the ground.

Not only is our weaponry so much better than the Russian’s, but I would also think that the new factories and upgraded factories will be replacing our old stuff with more advanced models and that a lot of new technology and new versions will come out of all this disposing and use of our old supplies.
